Happy 51st Birthday James Gunn! (5th August 1966)

“When I write a screenplay – and I think it’s one of the reasons why it was frustrating for me just to be a screenwriter – I’m not thinking of it in terms of words on a page; I’m thinking in terms of visual images – basically, a comic book. I’m thinking of it in a series of shots.”

— James Gunn, American screenwriter and director with notable films such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither, Super, and The Belko Experiment.
